The final assessment consists of an oral exam on the entire syllabus. The aim is to assess the students’ skills and particularly their understanding of the issues discussed during the course, the appropriate knowledge of the bibliography in the course programme, the correct command of the specific language as well as critical and methodological abilities. The following evaluation grid will be used in awarding the final grade:
1 - 17, fail: poor knowledge of the examination bibliography, preparation on the contents lacunose and superficial, errors in the application of concepts and in the use of the technical terminology of the discipline; poor exposition.
18 - 21, sufficient: knowledge of the examination bibliography superficial, preparation on the contents sufficient, but with exposure not always adequate and uncertainty in the application of concepts and in the use of technical terms of the philological discipline.

25 - 27, good: fair knowledge of the examination bibliography, appropriate preparation of content, good ability to apply theoretical concepts and to use the technical terminology of the discipline; content is presented in a sufficiently articulate manner.
28 - 29, very good: Exposition is clear and knowledge of the examination bibliography good; preparation on the contents is complete, very good ability to apply the knowledge and use the technical terminology of the discipline correctly.
